Candidate With Autism Wins In Walla Walla City Council Race

 A candidate with Autism, has apparently won a seat on the Walla Walla City Council defeating a one term incumbent.  Jeff Robinson, whose record of public service is quite impressive is leading Susan Smiley Nakonieczny.  

Robinson is currently a member of the Walla Walla City Planning Commission and is a case manager in aging and long-term care.

Susan, whose late brother was a friend of mine decades ago and whom I consider a wonderful friend, showed class in apparent defeat, wanting to be the first to congratulate Robinson. Robinson praised Nakonieczny for her service.  

There is no doubt that Robinson will be an inspiration to many.
